FAQs

Are BGV1 good for beginners?
Yes—balanced padding, secure wrist support and a forgiving fit make them ideal for first gloves and daily training.

How do they compare to BGV14 and BGV9?
BGV1 = most versatile and a touch roomier than puncher-style gloves.
BGV14 = slightly softer/pillowy feel favoured by many for sparring.
BGV9 = denser “Mexican-style” knuckle feel with a longer cuff for punchers.

Real leather or microfiber?
BGV1 uses genuine leather.
